Commerce Township's Top Business Attorney

For over 30 years, Finkel Whitefield Selik has been the most trusted partner to businesses, organizations, and high net worth individuals in the Commerce Township area. Most business owners have a thorough understanding of their industry, but many lack a solid base of knowledge on which to deal with complex business issues and related decisions. We specialize in helping businesses solve legal problems in a cost-effective and strategic manner.

Business & Corporate Planning

It can be surprisingly easy to get into business, but much harder to get out. Without proper planning, business owners may limit their success or complicate their ability to realize the greatest return on the sale of their business. Based on your situation, personality, and objectives, we can provide innovative solutions for:

Selecting an Entity

Hiring and Termination of Employees

Evaluation and Implementation of Executive Compensation

Succession Planning

Agreements for Merger, Acquisition, or Sale of a Business

Tax Planning

At Finkel Whitefield Selik, our attorneys have decades of experience in tax planning and are all up-to-date with current tax laws. State and Federal tax codes are very complex and can be confusing to navigate, but they often provide opportunities that influence the decisions you make. We understand these laws and are fully experienced in guiding clients through this process. We'll help you create a plan directed at resolving disputes, avoiding litigation, minimizing taxes, and maximizing profits.

We have negotiated compromises with the Internal Revenue Service and successfully defended individuals and small businesses in United States Tax Court, the Michigan Tax Tribunal, and various other tax-related issues.

What do our clients have to say?

"Our organization has worked with Eric Weiss over the past 5 years or so. He has always been responsive, prompt and reliable. He and his firm have been wonderful advocates and partners with our organization. As the CEO of a small chain of skilled rehabilitation facilities, I face many daily potential legal issues. Eric is always there to take my call and provide me with the answers. If he is not the subject expert, he helps find the right person to work with our organization. Eric always has a smile on his face, even if I don't! I appreciate his ability to put me at ease when stressful legal issues arise. Great attorney and a great man."
